You go upon the board of trade,
Where margin merchants meet
And take some lit e options
On January wheat.
You watch the little ticker,
Till the hands swing round the ring,
Then you find your little Doodle
Has gone a-glimmerlng.
That's business.
You go into a faro bank
And buy a stack of chips,
And watch the cards come from the box
Which the dealer deity flips.
When your head is dull and aching,
At the breaking of the day,
You see that tickle fortune
Has gone the other way.
That's gambling.

A CROOKED BIT OF RAIL
Wonderful Work of Engineers at Right
hand Gulch, Colo.

Especial Correspondence
DENVER Aug. 9-There is no end to the
triumphs of engineering in the Rockies.
Railroad men of today smile at the talk OF
twenty years ago, when the construction OF
the Union Pacific was long delayed to find
smooth route Now trains run over divides"
IL, 600 feet and more above the sea, wind along
the rocky sides of deep canyons and thread
their way along "benches" 1000 feet in the
air and once thought accessible only by the
eagle and the mountain sheep. Give assur-
ance that the traffic will justify the outlay,
and the engineers will blast out a railway
track along the face Of cliff where the pio-
neer workmen have to be let down from
above with ropes. The development of new
mineral lodes in the heart of the mountains
justifies these extraordinary methods of reach
ing them by rail. We give herewith view
of the latest achievement-the looped rail-
way up "Righthand guloh," from George
town, Colo, to the foot Of Gray's peak.
To appreciate this achievement, consider
these facts: The main range of the Rocky
mountains through Colorado has an average
elevation of II 900 feet, with occasional peaks
rising much higher, Gray's peak having an
elevation of II, ,410 feet From these heights
the foods of early summer have cut fearful
chasms to the plains, and up these canyons,
as they are called the old time mountaineers
found :heir only possible routes to the
"divides." The railroads follow, obedient to
the same necessities; bat the ascent is too
rapid for any engine, and in reducing the
